Gunmen attacked a police post in Pakistan’s insurgency-hit southwestern Balochistan Province on February 21, triggering a shootout that killed two officers, police said, the latest sign of increasing violence in the country. Barkat Baloch, a government administrator, said a search was under way for the assailants who fled after the attack in Mastung, a district in Balochistan. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the shooting, but previous such attacks have been blamed on Baluch separatists and Islamic militants who have a strong presence in the province and elsewhere in Pakistan.
